Wikileaks under Attack

08-20 Statement by Julian Assange on the reported destruction of WikiLeaks source material by Daniel Domscheit-Berg. Sat Aug 20 23:25:00 2011 GMT WikiLeaks does not record or retain source identifying information, however the claimed destruction of documents entrusted to WikiLeaks between January 2010 and August 2010 demands the revelation of inside information so sources can make their own risk assessments.

Early in 2010, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, (then "Daniel Berg", "Daniel Schmitt") (born 1978), who was responsible for keeping selected WikiLeaks backups, met and entered into a relationship with Anke Domscheit-Berg (then, "Anke Domscheit") (born 1968) who described her job title as "Director Government Relations" for Microsoft, Germany. DDB told me that ADB's role was to interface with the German government on behalf of Microsoft. He was proud that he had been to a party at the German ministry of the interior, as ADB's consort, and that ADB was on intimate terms with senior figures in the German government and bureaucracy.

WikiLeaks threatens legal action against Daniel Domscheit-Berg. WikiLeaks is threatening to take legal action against a former employee whose book chronicling his time with the organisation characterises its founder, Julian Assange, as obsessed by power and money and with a fondness for young women.

A statement from WikiLeaks said it was taking unspecified action against Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a German national who was once Assange's closest collaborator, after extracts of his book were printed on another site. Kristinn Hrafnsson, a spokeswoman for WikiLeaks, told the Forbes website that Domscheit-Berg confessed in his book to sabotaging the organisation's submission system for new leaks and that he had been suspended from his duties last September. In a response to Forbes, Domscheit-Berg denied sabotage and ridiculed the legal threat, saying he had received a letter from a lawyer representing Assange "written in the worst German I ever read", which failed to mention a single law he might have broken.
